I have probably selected the wrong category, but can't find a perfect fit.
Someone I know has forgotten/lost his e-mail password. He has created a replacement address and wants to add it to his Facebook details. This involves entering the Facebook password but when he does that the response from Facebook is that he is entering the wrong password. Of course when he tries to replace the password then he also has to enter the previous password which again is not recognised. He uses only an iPad for internet, no PC or anything else, and he is logged onto Facebook OK but can't execute any password dependent operations.
I know nothing about Facebook - is there a way to either recover the Facebook password or reset it without needing the e-mail address listed as the contact address there, which he now can't access either ? Any suggestions on how to resolve this ?

I discovered that there is a feature on iPads which allows you to get it to display stored passwords, the currently valid Facebook password might be among them. However, whether this is a later variant or a deliberate modification, my neighbour's iPad does not have the feature. Thus, I have assisted him in setting up a new Facebook page and he will have to transfer his activities to that if he loses all access to his old one. Meanwhile, his iPad has remained signed onto (logged in) Facebook so, until/unless he logs off he will have some access - but not for anything that requires authentication by entering the password.
